Lowest f# available would be better and would've allowed you to use a lower ISO setting... in fact many of the problems here are caused by ISO400 with the resulting image noise (chroma and luma) destroying detail.
Under-exposed images are always the worst for highlighting image noise.

Thanks, Andy. I had switched to 400 to increase speed on a very dull day.
